I get a thick, hard crust with regular sourdough as well. I actually like it that way. :)<br /><br />As for smaller loaves, I've only ever made full-sized. But I would maybe try 20-25 minutes with the lid, and then bake without the lid for however long it takes to get that lovely golden brown color. Remember to tap the bottom to see if it sounds hollow, to make sure it's done.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591387295768935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-73869995317705940712015-01-20T16:31:20.504-07:002015-01-20T16:31:20.504-07:00Any tips on preventing thick hard crust like Leo ...Any tips on preventing thick hard crust like Leo mentioned? <br /><br />Also baking time for half sized loaves? <br /><br />Thanks..<br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516244513940159910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-39623353404609081352014-03-18T21:00:23.517-06:002014-03-18T21:00:23.517-06:00Hi Jimmy and Pauline - I have done it both ways an...Hi Jimmy and Pauline - I have done it both ways and it works either way.

Also, instant can be mixed with dry ingredients directly while active dry works better when you activate it in warm water before adding the rest of the ingredients.<br /><br />Before your comment, I actually didn't even know there was a difference! I've always used active dry yeast, no matter what the recipe says, and never had any problems.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591387295768935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-50831823266465036272013-04-23T23:00:38.773-06:002013-04-23T23:00:38.773-06:00This looks amazing!
